Ch.12

In chapter 12, Humes wrote about a family who are name the Johnsons who decided to cut down on holding a lot of stuff. Humes explains their whole life story about how they first had the American dream until they move into an apartment that made the Johnsons realize how they waste and hold so much through out their years. Then Humes mentions that as Béa the mother who becomes the commander of the household decisions,  Béa ends up living with less and makes new strategies on making products for her family. Humes talks about how Béa has limits on grocery shopping, clothes and toys for the kids. Béa explains that people would think that she must of take a lot of time to manage doing this less waste life style but Béa actually has more time than most people. It's annoying when Humes explains about the people would criticize and put rude comments about the Johnsons way of living was delusional. It's interesting how Béa brought up about the American Dream is actually different and that the real meaning to have an American dream is to have financial freedom. Although I believe this life style actually sounds fun to try so people should realize about themselves what they're trying to criticize because the Johnsons are actually helping to waste less and giving tips to others who want to follow.
